2014 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · EU14 VRR

The 2014 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 113,228 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,400 miles per year. The records show steady annual increments: 101,251 miles in December 2021, 106,833 in December 2022, 109,799 in December 2023, 111,333 in December 2024, and 113,228 in December 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories, with every test listing zero defects, which suggests the previous keeper kept the car to a basic pass standard without flagged wear items. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 113,000-mile accumulation. The absence of recorded advisories does not confirm absence of corrosion or worn consumables, only that the tester found nothing requiring action on the day. Given the clean history, previous ownership appears to have addressed statutory roadworthiness without neglect. Physical checks of structural integrity underneath and exhaust emissions under load remain sensible before purchase.
